2 He verily is my strength and my salvation he is my defence, so that I shall not greatly fall.

3 How long will ye imagine mischief against every man ye shall be slain all the sort of you; yea, as a tottering wall shall ye be, and like a broken hedge.

4 Their device is only how to put him out whom God will exalt their delight is in lies; they give good words with their mouth, but curse with their heart.

5 Nevertheless, my soul, wait thou still upon God for my hope is in him.

6 He truly is my strength and my salvation he is my defence, so that I shall not fall.

7 In God is my health, and my glory the rock of my might, and in God is my

trust.

8 O put your trust in him alway, ye people pour out your hearts before him, for God is our hope.

11 God spake once, and twice I have also heard the same: that power belongeth unto God;

12 And that thou, Lord, art merciful for thou rewardest every man according to his work.

PSALM 63. Deus, Deus meus. God, thou art my God: early will I seek thee. 2 My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh also longeth after thee in a barren and dry land where no water is.

3 Thus have I looked for thee in holiness that I might behold thy power and glory.

4 For thy loving-kindness is better than the life itself : my lips shall praise thee.

5 As long as I live will I magnify thee on this manner : and lift up my hands in thy Name.

6 My soul shall be satisfied, even as it were with marrow and fatness : when my mouth praiseth thee with joyful lips.

7 Have I not remembered thee in my bed and thought upon thee when I was waking?

8 Because thou hast been my helper therefore under

the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

9 My soul hangeth upon thee thy right hand hath upholden me.

10 These also that seek the hurt of my soul they shall go under the earth.

11 Let them fall upon the edge of the sword: that they may be a portion for foxes.

12 But the King shall rejoice in God; all they also that swear by him shall be commended for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth shall be afraid at thy tokens: thou that makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to praise thee.

9 Thou visitest the earth, and blessest it: thou makest it very plenteous.

10 The river of God is full of water: thou preparest their corn, for so thou providest for the earth.

11 Thou waterest her furrows, thou sendest rain into the little valleys thereof; thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and blessest the increase of it.

12 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness and thy clouds drop fatness.

13 They shall drop upon the dwellings of the wilderness and the little hills shall rejoice on every side.

5 He turned the sea into dry land: so that they went through the water on foot; there did we rejoice thereof.

6 He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes behold the people and such as will not believe shall not be able to exalt themselves.

7 O praise our God, ye people and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

8 Wha holdeth our soul in life and suffereth not our feet to slip.

9 For thou, O God, hast proved us thou also hast tried us, like as silver is tried.

10 Thou broughtest us into the snare and laidest trouble upon our loins.

11 Thou sufferedst men to ride over our heads: we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

12 I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings and will pay thee my vows, which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth, when I was in trouble.

13 I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the incense of rams I will offer bullocks and goats.

14 O come hither, and hearken, all ye that fear God and I will tell you what he hath done for my soul.

MORNING PRAYER. PSALM 68. Exurgat Deus. LET God arise, and let

his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

2 Like as the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou drive them away and like as wax melteth at the fire, so let the ungodly perish at the presence of God.

3 But let the righteous be glad and rejoice before God: let them also be merry and joyful.

4 O sing unto God, and sing praises unto his Name : magnify him that rideth upon the heavens, as it were upon an horse; praise him in his Name JAH, and rejoice before him.

6 He is the God that maketh men to be of one mind in an house, and bringeth the prisoners out of captivity: but letteth the runagates con

tinue in scarceness.

7 O God, when thou wentest forth before the people : when thou wentest through the wilderness,

8 The earth shook, and the heavens dropped at the presence of God: even as Sinai also was moved at the presence of God, who is the God of Israel.

9 Thou, O God, sentest a gracious rain upon thine inheritance and refreshedst it when it was weary.

:

10 Thy congregation shall dwell therein for thou, O God, hast of thy goodness prepared for the poor.

12 Kings with their armies did flee, and were discomfited and they of the houshold divided the spoil.

16 Why hop ye so, ye high hills? this is God's hill, in the which it pleaseth him to dwell yea, the Lord will abide in it for ever.

17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels and the Lord is among them, as in the holy place of Sinai.

18 Thou art gone up on high, thou hast led captivity captive, and received gifts for men: yea, even for thine enemies, that the Lord God might dwell among them.

19 Praised be the Lord daily even the God who helpeth us, and poureth his benefits upon us.

20 He is our God, even the God of whom cometh salvation: God is the Lord, by whom we escape death.

21 God shall wound the head of his enemies and the hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his wicked

ness.
